Ranked from 86 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

In what way does your game fit the theme?
Our game fits the theme in two ways: 1. We went with a retro GameBoy aesthetic to "rewind time." 2. Being a rhythm game, our core gameplay mechanic is to rewind through a track multiple times, allowing the player to try different instruments as the difficulty increases.

Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes 99% of the code was written by us during this jam. All art, music, and most sfx were also created by us during the jam from scratch.

Cool rhythm game!  i love it :D

Developer

thanks for playing!

Really cool game! Reeeeeeally funky!

Developer

thanks! We tried to achieve maximum funkiness

That one was so much fun to play! The music was really good and the soundeffects were giving a nice immersion. It would have helped if there were different colors (or green values) for the 4 notes. Depending on which instrument you play, a graphic would have been nice. Also highlighting the pressed keys would be a cool feature for the future as well. That's a really really good entry! And now I'll go back and hittin the notes

Developer

I think having the graphic for each instrument is a good idea, lets the player know that they're in a new section. Thanks for the feedback!

This is one of the most polished games I've played so far. With a few more songs, it could totally pass for a full game. No one would suspect it was made from scratch in just a week! I hit 40115 on my first try thanks to how lenient the game is on the timing.  Great game!

By the way.. the "funkiness" option in the settings.. does it do anything?

Developer(+1)

Glad you liked it! And no the funkiness does absolutely nothing, because the game is already set to max funkiness. It's just a joke we threw in for fun

Score: 38885
It´s probably a bad score but it´s extremly funny! I want to play all day now, amazing!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! It takes a few tries to get used to it, best score I've seen though is about 170k!

Definitely the best game in this jam. Super fun, addicting, amazing work. I hope you will continue to develop this game and add more songs, co-op, multiplayer and many more features. My high score is 141420.

P.S. I found a glitch in the game that allows missing notes but still counting them in my streak.

P.S .S My record is 175040. Is this the highest you have seen?

Developer(+1)

thank you so much! And yes we're planning on adding a ton to it. Also thanks for letting us know about that bug, we'll look into it

Submitted(+1)

The bug occurs only in the rewind  phase when the tape is rewinding. If you press K while it happens it counts as good hit.

I LOVE THE AESTHETICS ON THIS GAME, the graphics are cool and the game play is really fun, the concept for the theme is well interpreted and makes for an interesting rhythm game, the color palette used is also pretty funky and pleasing to look at, definitely one that i'll keep playing again and again

Developer

Thanks for playing! We're gonna keep working on it after the jam too so keep an eye out for updates!

Great game!! Love the art and great music!! Enjoyed it alot!

Developer

Thanks for playing, glad you enjoyed it!

Submitted(+1)

That was a lot of fun! I really love the funkiness and great job on the music! Only criticism is that I don't know what the option for funkiness does. 

Best score was 138,685 points with 4 misses and 10 bads, 14 goods and 438 perfects. 

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot for playing! Glad to see you enjoyed the music. The funkiness option was honestly meant as a joke, it doesn't really do anything besides scroll through a couple strings lol.

Submitted(+1)

Really love the retro theme and the implementation of the rewind system well done! :)

Developer

glad you enjoyed it :)

Really enjoyed this game, could definitely see it being really successful as a mobile game too, i thought the audio and design of it was really great and would love to see the game developed further

Developer(+1)

Thanks so much for playing! We are definitely planning on continuing development after the jam so keep an eye out! We'll also consider making a mobile version of the game.

I absolutely love this game I'm a huge fan of 4 key rhythm games I got a score of 151180 I'd love to see a level editor for this after the jam if that'd be possible there's only a single thing that i'd change and that would be to add custom keybinds because df jk is a little to close on the keyboard for me I personally use qw and 89 on the Numpad 

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! We'll be continuing to develop this game after the jam so keep an eye out for that!

Submitted(+1)

I love it, it was an amazing experience to play your game. I love the melody that your team made and how well the theme is putted into this game. The graphic was also amazing. If you will make more songs to this game with different difficulty lever, it would be even better. Well done :)

Submitted(+1)

What a great song! I’m a fan of rhythm games, and this was just perfect! Hopefully you develop it further, I’ll be looking forward to that!

Developer

Thanks for playing! We are definitely looking to develop the game after this jam!

Submitted(+1)

Wow, what a great game, the music, art, mechanics fit the theme perfectly. It was really hard and weird for me to get used to the chosen keys but maybe it was just me. 

Developer

Thank you so much! We actually forgot to add alternate keybindings, so that's on us. We'll definitely update it after the jam

Submitted(+1)

Man, this just felt *cool* to play. Can't say that very often. Retro but not too retro.

Developer

thank you so much! We tried to go over the top with juiciness

Submitted (1 edit) (+1)

Absolutely loved it once I figured out what was going on. I would have like to get a little feedback with each note so I can know whether my timing was perfect, good, okay, bad etc, but not that big of a deal. I love rhythm and retro, so this was everything. Please make more levels!

P. S. I really appreciate the different funkiness settings in the options menu lmao

My Personal High Score: 117165 

Developer(+1)

Thanks so much for playing! We're definitely planning on continuing development after the jam, so keep an eye out for that!

PS. also yeah I really love the funkiness option tool lol

Developer(+1)

thank you so much and we appreciate the feedback! we are definitely gonna add more songs after the jam! Also the highest score I've seen so far was 170k, so try to beat that!
